    • Giving Meaning to Macros 

      Mennie, Christopher (University of Waterloo, 2004)
      With the prevalence of legacy C/C++ code, issues of readability and maintainability have become increasingly important. When we consider the problem of refactoring or migrating C/C++ code, we see the significant role ...
    • gLOP: A Cleaner Dirty Model for Multitask Learning 

      Rose, Rhiannon (University of Waterloo, 2014-08-22)
      Multitask learning (MTL) was originally defined by Caruana (1997) as "an approach to inductive transfer that improves learning for one task by using the information contained in the training signals of other related tasks". ...
    • Gradual C Programming for Typed Lua 

      Turas, Rafi (University of Waterloo, 2019-01-22)
      The work presented in this thesis deals with the problem of enhancing the performance of dynamically-typed programming languages by integrating features from statically-typed programming languages. Statically-typed languages ...
    • A Gradual Non-Convexation Penalty Method for Minimizing VaR 

      Xi, Jiong (University of Waterloo, 2012-05-08)
      This thesis investigates the portfolio optimization problem using Value-at-Risk (VaR) as a risk measure, when m sample scenarios are given. Minimizing VaR of a portfolio is computationally difficult: it is non-convex, ...
    • Gradual Pluggable Typing in Java 

      Brotherston, Daniel, Scott (University of Waterloo, 2016-04-27)
      Gradual typing provides the ability to safely mix untyped or dynamically typed code with statically typed code while maintaining, within the statically typed portion, the guarantees claimed by the static typing. It is ...
    • Graph Editing to a Given Neighbourhood Degree List is Fixed-Parameter Tractable 

      Subramanya, Vijay (University of Waterloo, 2016-10-26)
      Graph editing problems have a long history and have been widely studied, with applications in biochemistry and complex network analysis. They generally ask whether an input graph can be modified by inserting and deleting ...
    • Graph Morphing via Orthogonal Box Drawings 

      Spalding-Jamieson, Jack (University of Waterloo, 2023-12-18)
      Abstract: A graph is a set of vertices, with some pairwise connections given by a set of edges. A graph drawing, such as a node-link diagram, visualizes a graph with geometric features. One of the most common forms of a ...
    • Graph-Based Fracture Models for Rigid Body Explosions 

      Socha, Jessica (University of Waterloo, 2005)
      Explosions are one of the most powerful and devastating natural phenomena. The pressure front from the blast wave of an explosion can cause fracture of objects in its vicinity and create flying debris. In this thesis, ...
    • Graph-Based Mapping for Knowledge Transfer in General Game Playing 

      Jung, Joshua (University of Waterloo, 2024-01-17)
      General game playing (GGP) is a field of reinforcement learning (RL) in which the rules of a game (i.e. the state and dynamics of an RL domain) are not specified until runtime. A GGP agent must therefore be able to play ...
    • Graph-Based Spatial-Temporal Cluster Evolution: Representation, Analysis, and Implementation 

      da Silva Portugal, Ivens (University of Waterloo, 2023-08-28)
      Spatial-temporal data are information about real-world entities that exist in a location, the spatial dimension, and during a period of time, the temporal dimension. These real-world entities, such as vehicles, people, or ...
    • Graph-theoretic Properties of Control Flow Graphs and Applications 

      Kumar, Neeraj (University of Waterloo, 2015-08-25)
      This thesis deals with determining appropriate width parameters of control flow graphs so that certain computationally hard problems of practical interest become efficiently solvable. A well-known result of Thorup states ...
    • GraphflowDB: Scalable Query Processing on Graph-Structured Relations 

      Mhedhbi, Amine (University of Waterloo, 2023-10-02)
      Finding patterns over graph-structured datasets is ubiquitous and integral to a wide range of analytical applications, e.g., recommendation and fraud detection. When expressed in the high-level query languages of database ...
    • Grey Level Visual Cryptography for General Access Structures 

      MacPherson, Lesley (University of Waterloo, 2002)
      Visual cryptography, first introduced by Naor and Shamir, allows a secret (black and white) image to be encoded and distributed to a set of participants such that certain predefined sets of participants may reconstruct the ...
    • A Grouped Hamming Network 

      Logan, Bryan (University of Waterloo, 2010-08-30)
      A distributed hash table (DHT) is a type of peer-to-peer (P2P) network that, like traditional hash tables, maps keys to values. Unlike traditional hash tables, however, the data is distributed across a network with each ...
    • GRS: Combining Generation and Revision in Unsupervised Sentence Simplification 

      Dehghan, Mohammad (University of Waterloo, 2022-08-30)
      Text simplification is a task in the natural language processing field that alters a given text to reduce the structural and lexical complexity of the text while preserving the underlying meaning. We can classify existing ...
    • Guidance Under Uncertainty: Employing a Mediator Framework in Bilateral Incomplete-Information Negotiations 

      Shew, James (University of Waterloo, 2008-09-24)
      Bilateral incomplete-information negotiations of multiple issues present a difficult yet common negotiation problem that is complicated to solve from a mechanism design perspective. Unlike multilateral situations, where ...
    • Guided Testing of Concurrent Programs Using Value Schedules 

      Chen, Jun (University of Waterloo, 2009-09-29)
      Testing concurrent programs remains a difficult task due to the non-deterministic nature of concurrent execution. Many approaches have been proposed to tackle the complexity of uncovering potential concurrency bugs. ...
    • Hadez, a Framework for the Specification and Verification of Hypermedia Applications 

      Morales-Germán, Daniel (University of Waterloo, 2000)
      In recent years, several methodologies for the development of hypermedia applications have been proposed. These methodologies are, primarily, guidelines to be followed during the design process. They also indicate what ...
    • Halfway to Halfspace Testing 

      Harms, Nathaniel (University of Waterloo, 2017-10-18)
      In this thesis I study the problem of testing halfspaces under arbitrary probability distributions, using only random samples. A halfspace, or linear threshold function, is a boolean function f : Rⁿ → {±1} defined as the ...
